Are you trying to use --collector.processes? This is not available in 0.16.0, only if you build from master. It will be available in the next release.

Super!
Thank you for the feedback, yes I was trying to use: --collector.processes
The next release is programmed for ~: 2018-xx-xx?

Have a great day.

Yes, I'm working on a couple bug fixes this week so we can release a new version soon.
